so, i started working today. it's for a friend of my parents so it's not something that's really nerve-racking or anything. ま、でも、日本人だから少しやりにくいかも？ルールとか色々細かいしうるさいし。he says there's nothing to be uptight about but that's obviously not true. 一応仕事だし？
well, i didn't really do much today. just some basic work on excel and some e-mail writings. nothing fancy. i guess this is still the "training" mode so he can't ask me to do anything difficult and if i finish and he's busy, there's nothing for me to do. 何か、前の図書館みたいにネットばっかりしてない自分に少し驚き。確かに最近家でもあまりネットしてないしね。代わりにずっと携帯小説読んでたね。ハマってます。but yea, there's a lot of free time to just do nothing. plus, i get an hour for lunch so that's also a lot of time.
commute is going to be hell tho. takes a little less than an hour to get to work. -__- 長いよね。運転疲れるなぁ。ugh. but i have no other choice. oh, and the stupid guy decreased my work hours and wages.... で、母にそれ言ったら、ブツブツ文句言われた。知らんし！自分がお勧めしたんだからいいじゃん。文句言うなら、直接雇い主に言ってくれ。バァーカ。はぁ。今日は色々と疲れた。

man, tonight was spent building kitchen cabinets for the house from ikea with my dad. 建築会社に頼むとお金が要るから、自分達でやることに。ホント、ケチくさいとこ。
ま、それはいいとして、ほとんど父と二人でしたのだけど、一応母と姉と祖母もついてきた。意味無いのに…案の定、母はほとんど何もせず、文句ばかり。ugh. it's so annoying. she's of no use yet she insists on tagging along... she's just really annoying. and my dad. he insists on figuring out how all the pieces will fit before starting. だから、作り始めるまでが長い。いつまでも説明書とにらめっこ。バカみたい。。。if you just start the way ikea tells you to, it's really not too difficult. everyone just seems to love to make things time consuming. ま、でも、一応ひとつ作るのに、一時間ぐらいしかかからなかったけどね。ikea makes it really easy so it wasn't so bad.
in the end, we ended up making most of the cabinets and we'll be finishing up on sunday. そんなに時間かからないと思うけどね。早く終わらせないとね。

今日は仕事の面接に行ってきました。ま、仕事って言っても母の知人の手伝いだけなんだけど。しかも、その人って超細かくて大変らしい。my dad is the one that initially knew him and he's worked with him before and definitely did not recommend him. lol. 気が重いなぁ。but i really need to work so for now, i'm stuck.
anyways, had to drive out all the way to palos verdes at first to help my mom. then, going back, went along this really scenic route. it was really pretty with the ocean and stuff. でも、結構捲いてる道で、気をつけないといけないところだったから、あんまりゆっくり見れなかったね。交通量も結構あったし。ま、一人で感動しながら運転してたね。（笑）
so, met up with my employer around noon. talked for a while and then decided to go for lunch. その面接の内容が変でしたね。ま、学歴や特技など、普通のことも聞かれたけど、血液型とか、イヤな事とか、なんか、関係なさそうなこともいっぱい聞かれた。and man, this guy talks a lot! この先が思いやられる．．．しかも、来週の月曜からはもう仕事だって。*sigh*
お昼はインド料理をゴチになりました。結構インド料理とは縁が無くて、ほとんど食べたことがない。it wasn't so bad. the curry was actually pretty good. (it was a buffet). but the salad dressing was yogurt based and that was a bit gross. but other than that, it was decent. the naan was actually really good. :) また、挑戦してみたいな。

went all the way to desert springs today for a one-night stay with the family. 超疲れた。片道2時間運転して、向こうについてしたことといえば、ショッピングのみ。バカらしい。it was raining on the way to. not all the way through. there were some parts were there was no rain, and other parts drizzle, and other parts with heavy rain. that made driving a lot more difficult. しかも、ほとんど始めて行くような道だから、大変。and of course, there are lots of a-hole drivers out there that you have to watch out for. 帰りは帰りで時間が丁度夕焼け時で、太陽に向かって走るから、眩しいの何の。driving was a real pain...
and seriously, all we did there was shopping. -__- キライなんだよねぇ、買い物。疲れるだけ。メッチャ歩くし。but my mom loves shopping so that's pretty much all we did. the scenery was really nice tho. 最初の日は雨だったから、あんまり何も見えなかったけど、帰りの今日は超晴天だったため、山とかめちゃめちゃきれいでしたね。
since it was such a long drive, decided to take some cds along. 今、あんまり無くて、とりあえず、ほとんどひたすらバンプ聞いてたね。昔はすっごい好きだったね。今でも結構好きだけど。i think bump of chicken has some really good music. i think i was listening to their album jupiter. really good. well, i guess there was some plus to the trip. rediscovered awesome music.

it's 2011!! 明けましておめでとうございます。今年もよろしくお願いいたします。
today was spent leisurely. was able to spend the day with the bf. he actually took a day off of work for me!! :) ありがとうございます！at night, the bf and i were able to go out so we decided to go to golf n' stuff. it's in downey. どこ行こうか散々迷った挙句、彼の妹がそこを進めてたのを思い出し、行くことに。especially since its new years and there are are few places open, we decided to give it a shot.
it was actually a really interesting place. it had an arcade, mini golf, and some rides. そこそこ充実した品揃え。しかも、値段は結構お手ごろ。で、寒いけど、そんな寒空の下でミニゴルフをすることに。楽しかったよ♪ they have like four different courses you can choose from but towards the end, we were just going every which way, ignoring the courses. lol. あんまり時間はなかったけど、楽しめたね。また機会があったらいってみたいかな。
